⭐⭐⭐ Disappointing experience – not what we expected from a 4-star hotel
We have just finished our stay at THB Tropical Island and unfortunately left feeling very disappointed. We normally stay in 5-star hotels and sometimes 4-star, so we were not expecting luxury, but we did expect a good 4-star standard. For us, this felt closer to a 2–3 star hotel.
The resort is huge and has some lovely features. The pond with all the fish was beautiful and our children loved it, and the main swimming pools are very good. The lifeguards were also professional and attentive, although I feel there should be more of them considering the size of the resort and number of pools. The children’s pools are very shallow (around 40 cm), so younger or less confident swimmers may enjoy the main pool more ( around 1.50cm)with a properly fitted life jacket or flotation aid.
Unfortunately, the apartments are very outdated and need refurbishment. We stayed in a Premium apartment and found considerable wear and tear, including a very worn hob, damaged finishes, cracked walls and a sheet with a visible hole. The apartment also needed a proper deep clean.
We were four people but only had three forks. We asked for another one and it never arrived. The safe couldn’t be used because we were given instructions for a different model. We were told someone would come to help, but I waited over an hour and nobody came. The room telephone was also not working.
The food and drinks were very basic for a 4-star hotel. Drinks were mainly from dispensers, the ice cream was poor and even the coffee was from basic machines rather than a proper espresso machine. Personally, I would think carefully before paying extra for the all-inclusive.
Maintenance is another major issue. Some children’s facilities looked very worn, one water-play area was closed, and we saw a broken wooden barrier around the pond with parts sticking out for more than four days without being repaired.
We also found the resort very French-oriented, with much of the entertainment in French and some staff having limited Spanish or English. We have nothing against French guests, but as the hotel is in Spain, we expected Spanish to have a stronger presence.
The hotel has great potential and some genuinely good facilities, but the condition, cleanliness, food and service did not feel like 4-star quality. We would give it 3 stars at most.

Recommend
It was such a lovely experience with the evening entertainment, excursions, swimming pools, classes and so much more. We travel a lot but this was special. One of us has allergies and the chef made him special food every day.
Would recommend for families
Location quite good, rooms were nice, plenty space, although bed sofa wasn’t that comfortable fine for a small child but mattress quite thin for a teenager, also our air con wasn’t working for a few days but when I told reception they seemed to be aware there was a few issues and came out same day fixed it and as gift towards it not working gave us a bottle of Prosecco and three free drinks of our choice and three free meals which was very nice, cleanliness was very good and cleaners came in every day , swimming pools good , adult pool very clean and relaxing, overall hotel good for family’s
Fantastic!
Great resort you get a a pool literally 10 steps from your front door/room if you're ground floor & 2nd floor/top floor you have a balcony overlooking the pool. Not over crowded plenty of sun beds. If you want something a bit more lively its a small walk to the main pool with again plenty of sun beds & descent smaller slides.
The staff are always smiling happy to help & say hello!
The bedrooms have had a refurb the main living area are clean although could also do with a refurb but absolutely fine!
Breakfast option in our package with a great buffet selection with fresh salads & fruits, usual hot food selections
The grounds are cleaned every day, pools are kept cleaned as well.
Playa Blanca & beach 10-15 mns walk or taxi from hotel is around 4 euros each way
2nd visit to this hotel & we plan to come again can't fault this hotel & clearly any lesser reviews are people who are extremely difficult to please.
Great family holiday
Rubbish
Possibly the worst hotel we have stayed in as an English family, all entertainment in French and the entertainment isn’t that great. The daytime activities very rarely take place and the only ‘restaurant’ available is a glorified take away. Nothing for teenagers to do. Not at all what was sold to us!
